IV. Facts of the claim:
Detailed description of the facts of the alleged violation or violations (including relevant dates)
On June 27, 2002 five army vehicles with soldiers including Maj. Orachai from the Sam Yaek Army base and officers from Hooh Maw Army base in Haen Taek came into Bpah Eh Muser village at 6 AM and went into the hut of Jah Law Dteeh, one of the registered opium smokers, and caught him smoking opium. The arrested him with a small supply of personal opium for smoking. They then ordered everyone from their huts and began searching the huts of the entire village. In one hut they fired off an M-16 with at least one round going through the floor of the hut.

They took cash and gold from the huts. They took the truck of Mr. Jah Law Dteeh, the truck of Mr. Jah Uuh, and six men down to the army base.

They showed the villagers 7 kilos of opium they "found" in the village. The villagers asked them to show who's house they "found" it in. The Army would not say.

The Army took 1000 baht from Mr. Yah Gooh. 300 Baht from Mr. Jah Jay. 30,000 baht from Mr. Jah Law Dteeh. A one baht weight gold necklace was taken from Mr. Pah Seeh, value more than 10,000 baht.

The Army said that they could not afford to own the trucks without selling Methamphetamine. The villagers produced receipts for crops sold to show this was not true.

After the Army took the six men to the army base at Hooh Maw they released all six men.

Mr. Jah Law Dteeh returned to Hooh Maw Army camp to ask for his truck back, a white Toyota, with Mr. Jah Uuh who was also trying to get his black Isuzu 4 wheel drive truck back. While the two men were at the army base, the army said that they would not give the two trucks back. They were also already being used by the army to haul equipment.

The army said that Mr. Jah Uuh could go but that Mr. Jah Law Dteeh would stay for "detox". Both men were quite fearful. But then at this time other army (possibly from Bpeh Lang Army 514 at Gow Lang) brought in two Muser men from Loh Mah Ket Muser village and sat them down and shot both of them and killed them. The army told Mr. Jah Law Dteeh and Mr. Jah Uuh that this would happen to them too if they kept asking for their trucks. Both Mr. Jah Law Dteeh and Mr. Jah Uuh fled for their lives back to the village and hid.

Other Muser went to the Ampur (Government Office) office at Mae Faluang and told about what happened. There was no investigatin and soldiers told everyone not to talk about it.

Recourse to the courts or other public authorities:

June 6, 2002, no investigation, money not returned

IV. Facts of the claim:
Detailed description of the facts of the alleged violation or violations (including relevant dates)
On July 6, 2002, about 5 pm when Mr. Yah Tooh was returning from an incident in another village (someone shot a neighbor's pig eating in their rice or corn field) he saw a black pickup truck with 4 soldiers talking to one of the residents of his village. He stopped to ask what was going on and the army asked him how this man could have enough money to build a block house. Mr. Yah Tooh explained that the Akha saved from crops enough to build a house and then built it. This house cost about 50,000 baht. He told the army that he was also saving, had 91,000 baht and when he got 100,000 baht saved he too would build.

Then the army asked him to prove it and went to his house. He had 91,000 baht plus a couple thousand baht extra. He offered the army as a gratuity (common) the smaller cash for drinks and cigarettes to appease them but they took the 91,000 baht instead and left him the couple thousand baht.

After many trips to the army they did not return it. They said it was drug money but Mr. Yah Tooh had receipts for cattle, pigs, corn and ginger crops sold in excess of that amount.

Steps taken by or on behalf of the alleged victim(s) to exhaust domestic remedies:
Family inquired with army who claimed that first they never saw the two men. Then later said the two men went to Chiangrai, got drunk, didn't come back. Was reported to Ampur (Government Office) Mae Faluang District officer.

Recourse to the courts or other public authorities:

When and with what results:
Repeatedly since June 27, 2002 with no investigation being made

IV. Facts of the claim:
Detailed description of the facts of the alleged violation or violations (including relevant dates)
On June 26, 2002 Mr. Ah Tsah Say Yah and Mr. Leeh Cheeh Bpow Sheh Leeh, both Muser men, left their village Loh Mah Ket to drive a car, purchased by a man from Burma, across the border road that used to lead to Meh Joh Akha village inside Burma which was burned six months before. To their knowledge the vehicle, a small black pickup like car, was not stolen. They needed money to pay workers to help finish planting their rice crop and the man offered to pay them 1500 baht each. (about $60 US) The road across the border is one of two at that location, very bad condition, would require at least two men to make sure they could keep going if they got stuck. The men figured the effort would take them one day and one night, returning the next day.

They delivered the car and then on their return the Bpeh Lang army 514 at Gow Lang caught them at Gow Lang Akha village and took them away.

They were late seen by Chinese at Hooh Maw Army base near Haen Taek.

Mr. Jah Law Dteeh and Mr. Jah Uuh from Bpah Eh Muser, who were there at the camp to get their trucks back, claim to have seen these two men brought in blindfolded and shot in the chest with a handgun and killed. Rumor is that they were buried near to Hooh Maw Army base in the jungle on the side of the southern hill.

As of Aug 10, 2002 the family has still not heard from these two men. The army first claimed they did not ever see them, then changed that to yes, they saw them but the men were released and went to Chiangrai and got drunk and did not come back.

Mr. Ah Tsah has seven children.
Mr. Leeh Cheeh Bpow has three children.

Both are presumed dead.

They went inside and Mr. Yah Goh was sleeping and had a fever. He woke up with the soldiers searching through his hut and they found both his wallet and Mr. Ah Dauh's wallet. They took both wallets. Mr. Yah Goh lost more than 32,000 baht and Mr. Ah Dauh lost 45,000 baht. The men had saved the money for over two years from selling ginger crops. As a result of the hardship that this imposed Mr. Ah Dauh and his wife immediately split up over the incident.
